Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol Trailer
Jul 2011The first look at the new Mission: Impossible 4 movie, though interestingly enough they aren’t exactly calling it that, instead opting to call this the “Ghost Protocol.” I will warn you that there may be some spoilers, as they always tend to throw in too much information than they need to in these trailers nowadays.

Superman Reboot: Artists Rendition of Henry Cavill as Man of Steel
Jun 2011
Henry Cavill as Superman - Man of Steel
By now I’m sure most have heard about the Superman Reboot that’s in the works with Zach Snyder (director of Watchmen) and Chris Nolan (director of the highly successful Batman movies).
There has also been confirmation that the role of Superman has been cast in favor of Henry Cavill (known from his roles on the Showtime series The Tudors).
The image above is just an artist rendition of what Mr. Cavill would potentially look like in the red and blue. You’ll notice that he bares a striking resemblance the Christopher Reeves Superman (in particular his hair).
What he will actually look like we won’t know until filming begins, but make sure to stay tuned to FavoriteHero.com for all the Superman updates!
New Green Lantern Trailer
Dec 2010The launch trailer for Green Lantern is now out, and there are some mixed reviews. On one hand we have the opportunity to see what could be the start of another great super hero movie series. On the other hand, that guy is Van Wilder right??
Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter
Jun 2009
Johnny Depp Mad Hatter
For those that aren’t aware, Tim Burton has an upcoming remake of the classic tale of Alice in Wonderland. This merry (yet sordid) tale will feature Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter as the Queen of Hearts, and Anne Hathaway as the White Queen, just to name a few. See more pictures after the jump.
Latest Terminator Salvation Trailer… Hella Cool
Mar 2009For those salivating at the idea of the new Terminator movie starring Christian “don’t call me psycho” Bale, here is the latest trailer with all kinds of destructive cyborg goodness. We’re hoping this one tides you guys over until it hits theaters May 19th, but we’re not betting on it.
Thundercats Movie Trailer (Fan-made)
Dec 2008Here’s a great fan-made trail for our beloved 80′s cartoon, Thundercats. It features some pretty swell CG overlay on what appears to be Vin Diesel in the Chronicles of Riddick.
Thanks for passing along Dom.
Max Payne Movie Starring… Markie Mark?

Terminator Salvation – Movie Poster First Look
Jul 2008
Terminator Salvation Movie Poster
Here’s a first look at the upcoming Terminator Salvation movie poster. The first look we had at the opening preview last week is going to make the wait until 2009 a tough one.
New Watchmen Movie Trailer
Jul 2008Another great trailer that premiered this weekend with the release of the Dark Knight was that of the upcoming Watchmen Movie trailer. We at FH were already looking forward to the Alan Moore adapted graphic novel that inspired the film, but the new trailer (especially with the Smashing Pumpkins soundtrack) has added a whole new level of excitement.
And for those that may not have noticed it, that Smashing Pumpkins song (The Beginning is the End is the Beginning) was ironically made originally for that very forgettable Batman and Robin movie from a few years back.
Check out the official movie website for more information and a higher resolution trailer download. And check back at FH for the latest news!
Terminator Salvation – New HD Trailer
Jul 2008Just caught this new Terminator movie trailer while watching the new Batman Dark Knight flick this past week. And yes, that’s Christian Bale playing the starring role as John Connor, the predestined savior of mankind set to the backdrop James Cameron’s post apocalyptic vision.
Which brings up the next great question, how can one man be so lucky to be both Batman and John Connor? Do you think him and Shia Labeouf have secret meetings deciding which of them will play a prominent role in some of the coolest sequels/remakes of the decade?
Although, picturing Christian Bale as the savior of mankind seems much more likely than that whiny Ed Furlong in T2: Judgment Day.
Transformers 2: Revenge for the Fallen
Jun 2008
Our friends over at Gizmodo are confirming that the name for the Transformers Movie sequel will be Revenge for the Fallen.
Yet another movie sequel title where someone’s got to get revenge for something that happened in the original film for whatever reason. Rumor has it that the third installment of the original Star Wars trilogy was to be named Revenge of the Jedi, but got changed to give it less of a negative spin (silly Lucas, Jedi don’t get revenge!)
No pics on the new movie posters yet, but we’ll post those up as soon as Michael Bay decides which robotic eyeball he wants to zoom in on. Stay tuned to FavoriteHero for future updates.
Hellboy 2: The Golden Army
Jun 2008
We at FH were big fans of Hellboy back during his comic book days and thought the movie adaptation was quite entertaining. That’s why we were excited to hear about the upcoming sequel, Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. Plus, Selma Blair is easy on the eyes and a nice contrast to the ugly baddies (and goodies) throughout the hell-ridden universe.
Check out their new movie website for the latest movie trailer and images. Make sure to check back here at FavoriteHero.com for the latest news on the upcoming flick with the red hornless guy.
By the way, we at FH will be giving out promotional comic books for the movie at random to those that post comments. Just make sure to give us a valid e-mail address or we won’t know how to contact you if you win. Good luck!
New Animated Batman Movie: Gotham Knight
Jun 2008Batman Gotham Knight
Wizard Universe just issued a press release acknowledging that they will have the fortune of premiering the new upcoming Batman animated movie, Batman Gotham Knight, at their Wizard World Chicago conference in June.
For those that aren’t “in the know,” Warner Brothers is releasing a new animated movie bridging the gap between the last Batman Begins movie, and the upcoming Batman Dark Knight flick. Animation appears to be based on Japanese Anime stylings, which should be a nice change of pace from their older animated iterations.
The movie will premier on the evening of June 28th for those in the Chicago area that plan on attending the show. Unfortunately, your pals at FavoriteHero.com are currently attending the Philadelphia Wizard World and probably won’t be able to make the trip to Chi-town later this month.
Check out the full press release for more details and check back at FH for the latest news.
Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr) Possible Hugh Heffner in Upcoming Flick
May 2008
According to Wizard Magazines, Robert Downey Jr is being approached to play the part of the legendary porn mogul, Hugh Hefner in an upcoming movie about his life. Apparently Hugh himself thought that the role could be pulled off by Downey after seeing him play the part of Billionaire Playboy Tony Stark in the last Iron Man movie.
Of course, everything is still up in the air as Downey has yet to read the script and will likely decline the part if it’s about as entertaining the Playboy’s recent profit margins. More to come at FH as things to develop.
New X-Files Movie Trailer – I Want to Believe
May 2008We just got wind of this new X-Files movie trailer that just hit YouTube this week. At first it appears to be just another serial killer/murder mystery possibly starring Morgan Freeman or Ashley Judd, but out of nowhere you hear that little X-Files jingle that hasn’t been heard on the big or small screen in years.
The initial trailer doesn’t appear to have a bunch of UFO’s flying around, but we hope to get a better peak in the upcoming weeks of what we can expect. Fans of the show should be happy to see the Scully-Mulder
dynamic duo back in action.
New Batman Dark Knight Trailer – HD
May 2008For those that haven’t caught the new Batman: The Dark Knight movie trailer during the Iron Man movie previews last week, here’s a sneak peek into the upcoming flick. I think Heath Ledger looks like a great Joker in these clips, as he pulls off the dark and twisted side of the Joker very well.
And if you look closely, you’ll even notice an homage to the original Tim Burton Batman flick from almost 20 years ago (OMG, has it been that long?). Anyways I hope this short clip tides you guys over until this bad boy released on July 18th. If not, stayed tuned to FavoriteHero for more updates.
GI Joe Movie – Snake Eyes First Look
May 2008
Here’s a first glimpse of Snake Eyes in the upcoming (2009) GI Joe movie that is currently in filming. Playing the part of one of my favorite bad ass childhood heroes is Ray Park, whom most of us recall in his role as Darth Maul from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
More GI Joe movie pics and info coming as it becomes available.
Iron Man Crushes Box Office: Studio Plans Sequel
May 2008
It should come as no surprise that following what was a monster opening weekend (in the neighborhood of $98.6 Million) Marvel Studios has announced plans to make an Iron Man sequel with a tentative launch date of April 2010. Those of us that stuck around until after the end credits of the movie probably saw this coming.
Coupled with a lot of fan buzz and overall good reviews, Iron Man got the summer started off on the right foot, and hopefully is an indication of what we can expect to see in the upcoming months.
Watchmen Movie in Production
Mar 2008
For those of you that are fans of Alan Moore and his successful comic book and film adaptations (V for Vendetta, From Hell), you’ll be pleased to know that Warner Brothers studios are scheduled to release a feature length film of Watchmen in March of 2009. Not much yet on the official movie site, but we at Favorite Hero will be sure to keep you updated as soon as more info is available.
Thanks for the link Cava.
